  Say hello to new parthcool.

  It is a normal behavior of a browser like Chrome or Firefox.  You run several tabs in Chrome?  Chrome treats each tab as a separate instance of the browser and for this purpose a separate process.  It is a good feature because it means that a hanging web page will not (usually) bring down the browser everything.  However, this means that Chrome uses a lot of RAM.

  Using intensive plugins memory within these tabs, like Adobe Flash, will greatly increase the amount of memory used.

  Here is a screencap of my own memory used within Chrome.  I did open Chrome before that and I currently have seven tabs.  This represents about 400 MB with pages containing the text for most.

  

  Unfortunately, because this is a consequence of the features of the browser itself, there are only a few options to solve the problem.  You can try to minimize the amount of memory that Chrome uses by following the instructions in this article.

  Your second option is to upgrade your laptop to include more memory.  You also extend the usefulness of your laptop.  If you want to go this route, I need your product number to locate the appropriate parts and information.  Follow this document to locate the product number.

  Finally, and this is probably the most effective solution, is to use the Ready Boost of the window function.  Ready Boost allows you to use Flash memory, such as a USB key, as secondary memory for your computer.  Here's a great thread in which explains how to use Ready Boost.

  I hope you find this useful parthcool; have a great day!

• Svchost.exe file LocalSystemNetworkRestricted using too much RAM

  The file svchost.exe (LocalSystemNetworkRestricted) uses too much RAM, almost 1/2 of it.  There are also several svchost.exe files (no limit) and the indexer uses a lot of RAM too. I have already associated the indexer return. I suspect that it is the cause of my favorite right-click with windows Explorer.  I have 4 GB of RAM, small basic programs, file clean constantly and the computer is still slow.  How can I fix it?  Test/scan etc. ?  HELP.............................

• How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

  I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

  Thank you.

  How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

  • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
  • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

  If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

  Now copy the old two files in this folder.

  Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?

• When I click on my desktop shortcut icons in the new firefox 4 I get a dialog box that indicates that windows does not find that the website

  I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads.

  I've updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the Center knob on my Lenovo T400 does more.

  So happy to get it working again.

• Obsolete computer will not support the new Firefox.

  I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I just downloaded the latest Firefox and when asked "Do you really want to delete the existing file" (IE an older version of Firefox), I clicked on Yes. But when I tried to open the new Firefox, I got a message saying that my computer it won't support. Is there a way I can get my computer to open the new version, or even download the old version?

  Firefox 4 and later requires at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.
